Our Naples Yellow Hue is a composite of pigments specifically created to address the needs of the artist. If you look at Naples Yellow paints in oils and other encaustic manufacturers, you will see there is a range from the palest muted yellows to deep yellows with a slight orange note. Since we already manufacture several pale yellows, we wanted to provide you with a deeper yellow with a slight orange cast. Our Naples Yellow is a sophisticated hue great for the historical palette.
